Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (2 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 strips bacon
2 ripe avocados
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 to 4 tablespoons drained jarred pickled jalapeno slices, chopped, plus 2 teaspoons brine
1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, turning, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined-plate to drain.
  • Meanwhile, halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the avocado into a medium bowl and add the lime juice, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mash with a fork until combined but still a bit chunky. Add the red onions, pickled jalapenos, brine and tomatoes, reserving a few pieces of tomato and some jalapenos for garnish.
  • Crumble the bacon into the bowl, saving a spoonful for garnish, and stir together to combine. Garnish with the reserved bacon, tomato, jalapenos and a few squeezes of lime. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for guacamole because they are less watery than other types of tomatoes.
  • Chop the ingredients finely: This will help the guacamole to have a smooth and even texture.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy guacamole, add a jalapeño pepper or some cayenne pepper.
  • Use fresh herbs: Cilantro and parsley are classic herbs to add to guacamole, but you can also use other herbs like basil or oregano.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste until the guacamole is perfectly seasoned.
  • Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh, so make it just before you're ready to eat it.
